Tim

Stumbling upon Droid Life randomly after purchasing a Motorola DROID in late 2009, then setting out to learn everything he could about Android, Tim quickly became an integral part of the site's comment section. After quite some time of strictly commenting on Droid Life, Tim was offered an opportunity to write feature stories for the site, such as custom ROM overviews, as well as interviews with Android community members. Following success of those, Tim became a full time writer and editor for Droid Life, now spending his time on news articles, device reviews, producing videos, and much more. Tim currently resides in Portland, OR with his longtime girlfriend and two wonderful dog children (Loki & Thor). In his spare time, Tim enjoys playing guitar, drinking coffee, practicing photography, and destroying kids on Call of Duty.

  • so i have it installed on razr maxx…..keep getting msg “process com.android.phone” has stopped….any ideas? maybe the verizon proxy codes….??

  • my 4g keeps cutting out and i loose all internet i can only make calls what else can i do ive wiped and done both factory resets toggled off of gsm were it always takes me at boot this is the 7th rom ive installed and the one i like the most just dont like that one thing also batterie drains faster.

  • im new at all this. can you help me i try to get the zip file and it is locked

  • set to private right now, I’d love to have it though. Just upgraded from the Tbolt. LIFE IS GOOD.

  • When i install this rom and reboot all i get is a black screen i have the razr maxx i have installed roms before idk whats wrong help????

  • I am losing data quite often on 3g and LTE and can’t find a fix for this.  Also video is extremely choppy.  Any ideas on how i could fix this?  thanks

  • Flashed using safestrap.  Looks GREAT!!  Only issue is the Camera is not functioning yet :(((

    • So you have no camera, but have service? i have no service, but working camera….Anyone have any ideas? This is annoying, “If you run into any problems or have any questions, let us know down below and we’ll try to point you in the right direction.” must not have been a real invitation

    • I got mine to work after a restart.  Fully functioning now.  As Junk stated above for service being crappy, I am experiencing good service, but occasional dropping of 3g.  Which makes it difficult for Google Voice users!  Otherwise flawless rom

  • I may have a Nexus but I sure am glad to see posts like this, especially for all you Motorola/HTC owners who seem to get no love. 

  • Do NOT flash this.  It froze at the boot screen and would not turn off no matter what I did.  I had to pop the cover off and short the battery for it to finally turn off.  Then I immediately installed my backup…

  • Im stuck at a black screen after flashing it. Its been this way for over 30 minutes now.  I have made the proper backups, but how do I get back to safestrap to install the backups? Could I get some help as soon as possible?

  • but………but it has a locked bootloader how is this possable. i swear this has to be witch craft

  • Alllll kinds of fail. Enabled safe menu, wiped the caches, installed the rom, reboot, dual core screen, safe menu screen…blank screen, just nothing.

    Good to see some things haven’t changed.

    •  did you use safestrap or bootstrap for your recovery? i had no problems whatsoever on latest safestrap and this. have you tried cm9 prealpha? if that doesnt work either and youre using bootstrap, that could be the problem…or youre just doing something else wrong 🙂

    • I would avoid it, I’m no stranger to rooting android phones, and while the process WAS plenty straightforward, I’ve repeated the steps about 4 times now and still get a nice blank screen. About to nandroid restore, if it’s bricked I’m going to be annoyed.

      Knew there was a reason I stopped doing this, now I remember what it was…

      • time for a gnex.. I pressed “unlock + root” on an app and watched my computer screen as it went to work, a few minutes later I was ready to press the other button that says install ROM

        it was real nice

        • Way to not even root it yourself…and rely on someone else to do it for you.  I’ll laught when your phone is bricked and you need access to fastboot but have no idea how to set it up.  Debugging something like that WHILE your phone is refusing to boot is sure to be a bundle of fun.

          • I bet it would be a bundle of fun… but until then I’ll be sitting pretty Android 4.0.4 AOKP 29 like I have been and live life

            P.S. I can get into ADB anytime I want, so if hell froze over and for some reason installing a ROM by clicking a single button ‘bricked’ my phone, and hell continued to stay frozen with backups not working, then I could debug if I needed

  • This guy took what someone posted and put it in a rom thats it http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/1176-inverted-gapps/

    • +1. I am hoping there is a surge in support at some point in the future like with the DX (which has become a very nice p.m.p. with CM7)). Especially after we get ICS. Love my Bionic like I loved my DX.

    •  I’m running Gummy on my Bionic and I really like it. I’ve only experienced a couple of hiccups, like the G4TV app goes stupid when you try and play a video. That’s about it so far.
